[Beowulf] Re: scyld and jaguar

[desi star]

Hi Mike,

Thanks much for responding. Jaguar is indeed staticaly
linked to the MPICH libraries as per manuals. When I
ran the ldd commands as you suggested:

--
$ ldd Jaguar
  not a dynamic executable
$
--

Thats why the very first step sugested in the Jaguar
installation is to build and configure MPICH from the
start. Where do I go from here?

I also worked on Alan's suggestion and created a
dynamic link between the ssh and rsh. I am now stuck
in making ssh passwordless. Using 'ssh-keygen -t' I
generated public and private keys and then copied
public key to the authorised_keys2 in ~/.ssh/. I am
not sure if thats all I need to make ssh passwordless.
I was wondering if I will have to copy public keys on
each node using bpcp command.

I would appreciate suggestions in this matter. Thanks.

Pratap.
